German Shepherd Puppy With Stunted Growth Suffers From A Rare Condition

When a woman adopted her new German shepherd puppy, she thought he was just small because he was the runt of the litter. But as time went on, the puppy stayed quite small. She took him to the vet to see what was going on and make sure he had no serious ailments.

The vet informed the woman that her puppy had a parasite. She felt better knowing that the dog was on its way to recovery. But it continued to grow at a very slow rate so she took the dog back to the vet only to find out it had another parasite.
